Oct 26, 2010 9:31 pm ET

Alaska Senate candidate Joe Miller, while previously working as a local-government attorney, admitted to improperly using his co-workers’ computers to participate in political activity and admitted to initially lying when he was asked about it, according to documents released Tuesday by his former employer.

Mr. Miller, the Republican running against Democrat Scott McAdams and write-in candidate Lisa Murkowski, worked for seven years as a part-time lawyer for the Fairbanks North Star Borough.

According to one co-worker’s account among the released documents, Mr. Miller used his computer without asking and later told the co-worker he “went to a site to vote in a poll” and had used several other co-workers’ computers, too, “so that an opinion poll would have different URLs.”
